John Rofrano has a great tutorial that shows you exactly what you need to do.

I resemble that remark! 😀 Yup, that should do it. Just change the pivot point to the center of the shape you want to rotate.

There are two options :

1- Just change the pivot point to the center of the shape of whatever to rotate.

2- If you created that logo inside of that main picture(photoshop as an example), it means the pivot point will be in the middle of that main pic, just crop logo and save it instead of saving the whole imagege), this way that logo file will have its exact size and not the whole image size and pivot point will be in the middle plus logo file will be smaller.

Yea, this is how I would have done it. Make the logo in the center, then use Track Motion to position and resize smaller so that the center is always the center.

Thanks to All:

It still did not work with John’s simple page explaining it. Then Joao’s comments made me think. The image file or shape has to be square. I had it at 500 x 300 pixels originally.

Problem solved! Thanks all

I can’t see what the shape of the image file has to do with that, no matter which shape an image file has, I can rotate whatever I want and the way I want, could be a round/square/rectangle/triangle whatever shape.
